The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1135 You can\'t justify not winning a championship, Coach Riley.
Chapter 1135 It’s not justified if you don’t win the championship, Coach Riley
Before 1996, there was a peculiar phenomenon in the NBA, that is, everything could be negotiated.
Even if Louie's appearance allows the league to have a standard rookie contract in advance, the details of the contract are still negotiable.
For example, some top rookies will ask the other party to give up the priority to renew the contract before signing a contract with their old club, otherwise they will not sign the contract. At worst, they will not play in the NBA, and they can still enjoy themselves in Europe.
Some management with no long-term vision will agree to such dangerous conditions.
For example, the Philadelphia 76ers.
After they selected Mourning, in order to make it a smooth contract, they agreed to give up the priority to renew the contract.
Now that three years have passed, the 76ers have not achieved much.
Mourning is a player who can improve the team's lower limit.
With him alone, the 76ers' results are not much better, but even with him alone, they are not far behind.
Mourning is willing to stay in Philadelphia, provided the money is added.
Pence's billion-dollar contract irritated a lot of people.
Mourning is one of them. He feels that he is no worse than Penny, and he can also achieve results if the two teams are switched.
If Penny can get 100 million in 7 years, then he can get 120 million in 7 years.
As long as there is enough money in Philadelphia, what if he stays here and dies with them? 120 million dollars can make him forget all the unhappy things in his life.
However, apart from Jordan, Wilson, O'Neal, Ewing, Manning, and Penny (he already got it), no other player deserves this kind of contract.
Even Wilson is only holding the "average" 4-year 55 million.
The 76ers certainly didn't want to give Mourning this contract.
Because Mourning is really not worth it.
Mourning became angry from embarrassment. Since he refused to give the money, don't blame him for turning his face.
His agent began to threaten Philadelphia that if he didn't pay, Mourning would join the free market after his rookie contract expired, so that they wouldn't even smell a fart.
This is the mine that Philadelphia planted four years ago.
Many teams that have planted the same mine always believe that four years is enough time for them to build a good team, not to mention the difficulty of building a team, even if there is a good team, do players have to stay?
In the end, the problem of money still has to be solved.
The lion's big opening after the rookie contract expires can explain to a certain extent why the salary cap must exist.
If there is no salary cap, extortionate prices will become the norm.
And only a few local tyrants can satisfy the appetite of players.
For someone like Mourning who dares to ask for $120 million, even Jerry Buss has to think twice.
Philadelphia can't afford it, so, in order to avoid chickens and eggs next summer, Mourning will be put on the shelf for public sale, and the highest price will win.
In Philadelphia, the media described Mourning as a greedy vampire.
This bruised Mourning's self-esteem.
In order to increase the difficulty of the transaction, Mourning's agent announced that unless there is a team that can meet the $120 million in seven years, don't think about the transaction.
Because of the deal, he can only get Mourning's one-year use right.
That put some teams off, including the Warriors, who had a good chance.
The Warriors wanted to use this deal to send Payton, who was dissatisfied, but when he heard that Mourning wanted 120 million, Chris Cohan only felt a chill down his back.
He likes pennies, but the reason he pays pennies so much is because pennies sell tickets, attract sponsors, and help him make more money.
What can you do with so much money for Mourning?
Win the championship?
Hee hee, how much is the champion worth?
The Knicks have money, but they have Ewing and don't need Mourning.
The Heat also have money, but they have Sampson and Manning, not to mention Mourning's position.
Of course, the Lakers also have money. Although Buss doesn't really want to give Mourning that much money, if the trade really comes, he has to give it anyway.
Bass also asked Louie about the possibility of a trade.
Louis said with a look of embarrassment: "I'm not sure if they would trade Alonzo for David."
Take a promising future superstar for Robinson, who won't be able to play until at least next season?
The 76ers may have been driven crazy by Mourning, but they should not be so crazy.
Mourning's agent used this trick to corner Philadelphia.
Those who want Mourning have no money.
Rich people don't want Mourning.
However, there is one team that just ticks all the boxes.
August 10
Pat Riley called the Philadelphia office, and he was ready to make an offer the 76ers couldn't refuse.
After five days of negotiations, the Trail Blazers and 76ers completed the most shocking deal of the summer.
The Blazers traded Anthony Mason Jr., Adavis Sabonis, first-round picks in 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2002 in exchange for Alonzo Mourning and Jeff Malone.
"Michael, Hakeem, Alonzo, Rex (Chapman), Clifford, Isiah...Isn't it justifiable for Coach Riley not to win this time?"
Louie's teaching assistants were happily discussing the Blazers' reinforcements in the president's office.
"Is this lineup really as strong as Miami?"
Zhao Yuanzheng thinks about the Heat's lineup—Dumas, Lewis, Sampson, Rodman, Manning, Drexler, Petrovic...
The Blazers have two superstars who are still in their prime.
The Heat only count Manning as half, and Sampson, who is full of energy, also counts as half.
Mourning is an insider who can average 20+10 per game, but he is not a decisive force.
The quality of the remaining Blazers stars is obviously not comparable to that of the Heat.
Especially Thomas, after a serious injury, if he can recover 60%, the Blazers will earn.
If these two teams play in the playoffs, Louie will still bet on the Heat to win.
Sampson is old, but Jordan and Olajuwon are no longer young.
Looking at other people's various reinforcements, Louis and the teaching assistants can only watch. After all, the Lakers theoretically have no room for maneuver.
In addition to sitting in the office chatting every day, by the way, designing the tactics to be used in the new season, and talking about which team is the strongest.
Usually, only the Blazers and Heat are included in the discussion.
The Knicks were ignored.
After the Warriors blew up, it was not worth mentioning.
As for the Lakers, they are still in the stage of accumulating food.
In mid-August, Louis received the "homework" handed in by Nelson.
That was the zone offense system Louie asked Nelson to prepare.
According to Zhao Yuanzheng's suggestion, Nielsen made a more detailed division, which is divided into left wing, right wing, left corner, right corner, and center.
Each area is equipped with 20 tactical changes.
Moreover, Mike Boozer Holden also assigned tactics to relevant players based on the existing personnel situation of the Lakers.
"Great, Old Tang, I knew you would be of great use."
Louis nodded in satisfaction.
"Actually, the chief architect of these tactics is not me, but Rick, Mike and Larry." Nelson said modestly, "I just gave them some advice."
Louie took a notebook from his desk.
"These are some of the tactics I have devised in the past year. You can use them to see if any can be added to the wing system."
Louis handed the notebook to Nelson.
Although Louis said he "took time" to design it, Nelson didn't dare to underestimate it at all.
The first tactic was Louis named shootingstar (shooting star).
Li Yunlong once bragged to Brother Yunfei like this, saying that what he looks at a map is not a map, but in his eyes, it is mountains, roads and cities. For coaches, the tactical lines on the drawing will also be automatically transformed into tactical runs in actual combat in their minds.
Nelson looked through this ugly line, but he was amazed by his thinking. The brilliant tactics of the line seemed to have seen a flawless offensive round~www.mtlnovel.com~ Nelson smiled and looked up at Louis: "Take time to design a tactic? What if You are serious, I ask you to dedicate some time to study the tactics; if you are just kidding me, then I can only say that you are a genius, the first tactic shocked me, it is amazing! Wait I'll take a closer look!"
1 You may think this is magical, but this is what happens in reality. After the introduction of the salary cap in 1984, some regulations were also made on rookie contracts, such as the introduction of priority renewal rights to help the team retain rookies. However, since the rookie contract period at that time was unlimited, players generally signed long-term contracts, so teams often waived this clause. I want to focus on the case of Weber, because it is the weirdest of the weirdest. Webber signed a 15-year, $74 million contract with the Warriors. With such a long contract, the Warriors are of course willing to give up the priority to renew the contract. Anyway, Webber will soon retire when the contract ends. But Webber's agent is not stupid, I can't find out why anyway, he actually made the Warriors agree to have a jump-out option in the second summer of Weber's contract...so after the conflict between Weber and Nelson intensified, Threatening Yong to manage, if you don't trade him, wait for him to leave. Yong Guan could only sell him to Washington, and this deal basically destroyed the future of the Warriors in the 1990s and Webber's development prospects.
